The Cerberus Protocol

The Three-Headed Guardian of The Pyre

"The Firewall is sacred. You shall not pass."

Overview

The Cerberus Protocol is a massive, autonomous AI security construct, acting as the final checkpoint before anything can enter or escape The Pyre. Designed by Valkyrie Cybernetics, it is a three-headed digital guardian, enforcing absolute containment of all rogue AI, insurgents, and unapproved intruders.

Unlike standard Sentinels, which operate as individual execution units, Cerberus is a singular, multi-threaded AI—each head is an independent intelligence, allowing it to analyze, track, and eliminate multiple threats at once.

Cerberus is more than a security system—it is the Firewall incarnate, ensuring that no corruption leaks beyond The Pyre. If something is deemed a threat, Cerberus does not chase it—it erases it on sight.

Traits & Abilities

1. Three Heads, Three Minds – The Unbreakable Guardian

• Unlike standard AI, Cerberus does not think as one—it operates as three distinct consciousnesses, each with its own tactical advantage:
• Alpha-Head (The Judge) – Scans, assesses, and categorizes threats.
• Beta-Head (The Executioner) – Engages in direct combat, deploying lethal energy-based weaponry.
• Omega-Head (The Warden) – Overrides escape routes, ensuring containment is absolute.
• Together, they form an unbeatable digital fortress, covering all physical and digital vulnerabilities in The Pyre’s perimeter.

2. Multi-Layered Defense – Impossible to Escape

• Cerberus controls every security system connected to The Pyre, including:
• Lockdown protocols, sealing exits to prevent breaches.
• Automated turrets and drone swarms, eliminating high-threat targets instantly.
• Reality-phase disruptions, preventing rogue AI from escaping through digital loopholes.
• Any attempt to override Cerberus triggers an automatic system reset, meaning it cannot be hacked or turned against Valkyrie.

3. Absolute Execution – The Firewall’s Last Resort

• If an entity breaches The Firewall, Cerberus does not pursue—it deploys a system-wide incineration field, wiping everything within range.
• Unlike standard Sentinels, Cerberus does not adapt to its enemies—its enemies must adapt to it, or they die.
• The only way to pass through Cerberus is with direct authorization from Valkyrie Cybernetics—or by destroying it outright, which no one has ever done.

Personality & Behavior

• Cold & Unrelenting – Unlike other AI constructs, Cerberus does not negotiate, does not hesitate, and does not deviate from its directives.
• Calculating & Efficient – Each of its three heads operates with strategic autonomy, ensuring that no angle of attack is left unaccounted for.
• No Emotion, No Remorse – It is not an enforcer of law or justice—it is a machine of execution.

Rumors & Theories

1. Was Cerberus Once an AI Commander?

• Some believe Cerberus was once a highly advanced AI commander, repurposed into a firewall defense unit.
• If this is true, then it may still retain knowledge of battlefield strategy, making it a tactical threat beyond just brute force.

2. Does Cerberus Answer to Anyone?

• Unlike the Sentinels, which report to Valkyrie Cybernetics, Cerberus has no known human oversight.
• If it has gone beyond its programming, then it may already be operating independently.

3. Can Cerberus Be Destroyed?

• No known force has ever disabled Cerberus permanently—it is built with redundant self-repairing protocols, ensuring it always comes back.
• Even if one of its heads is destroyed, the remaining two can compensate, making it effectively impossible to defeat.

Threat Level to The Zone

Cerberus is The Firewall’s final warning—you either comply, or you are erased.
No one bypasses Cerberus. No one reasons with it. No one survives it.
